Story Time with ~CL.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful little princess named Annabel Lee.

This story isn't about her though. In fact, this story has nothing to do with Annabel at all. This is actually a story about a chunky, unattractive kid named ~CL.


See, ~CL has always been overweight. Part of her would like to blame bad genes, because there are hefty people on both sides of family. Another part of her would like to blame her mom and dad, because her daddy was a truck driver when she was little and was never home. Her mommy really the best she could, but she worked full time which meant dinner for ~CL usually consisted of cheeseburgers, french fries, and all the soda ~CL could drink. In fact, there's a picture of her somewhere where she's drinking soda out of a baby bottle as an itty bitty baby.

Who does that?

Anyway, as much as ~CL would like to blame these other people for her weight misfortunes, all the blame falls on ~CL. Because rather than taking charge of her own life and making her own decisions once she was old enough, she stuck to what she knew (which, of course, led to what she knew getting stuck to her, but whatever).

This story doesn't have an ending. Not yet, anyway. ~CL hasn't gotten her happily ever after just yet, but rather than wait for it to come to her, she's going to go after it, because who said strong female characters aren't cool?

Wait. What?
